New Committee Name
Committee on 3D Geomatics
Naming Design – Definition Examples
Dictionary.com - a science concerned with using mathematical methods on data about the earth's surface.
Wikipedia - Geomatics (including geomatics engineering), also known as surveying engineering or geospatial science (including geospatial engineering and geospatial technology), is the discipline of gathering, storing, processing, and delivering geographic information or spatially referenced information. In other words, it "consists of products, services and tools involved in the collection, integration and management of geographic data“.

19. Committee on 3D Geomatics
New Committee Name
Committee on 3D Geomatics
Mission Statement
The Committee on 3D Geomatics (3DGeo) works to identify and promote the need for planning, funding, acquisition, and management of geomatic data and derived products. The committee engages multiple disciplines in Minnesota for the benefit of its resources and citizens; promoting the value, importance, and use of this complex and voluminous information.

Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program (Susan Brower, State Demographer)

33. Minnesota Geospatial Advisory Committee – September 2017

36. The 2020 Census is about:
POWER
MONEY
DATA

37. 2010 Congressional Reapportionment

38. How would MN Congressional Districts change if we were to lose a seat?

39. Political representation at the state-level, also based on census counts Districts with lower counts expand; higher counts contract after redistricting

40. The 2020 Census is about:
POWER
MONEY
DATA

41. Census counts guide the distribution of dollars
More than 400 billion federal dollars are distributed to state and local governments each year on the basis of census data
At least $1,532 per person is allocated by the federal government to Minnesota each year (that’s $15,320 for the decade)

42. The 2020 Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) program
LUCA is the U.S. Census Bureau program that allows cities to review and comment on the addresses that will be used to conduct the 2020 Census.

43. LUCA: A little work could pay big dividends
1 new housing development with ~400 units and ~600 residents
= ~ $8.4 million in federal funds to state and local governments between 2020 and 2030

44. LUCA: What do you need to do to participate?
Make sure your city is registered with the Census Bureau for the LUCA.
Prioritize the LUCA work within your city. It’s coming up quickly and has a brief review window. Blink and you will miss it.

45. LUCA: Important Dates
Registration packets mailed to highest elected officials (e.g. Board Chairs) this month, July 2017
Deadline to return register with the Census Bureau is December 15, 2017.
Review period runs for 3 months; begins February 2018.
More details about the LUCA can be found here:

46. So far 11 counties registered for the 2020 LUCA
To see which governments have registered for LUCA, view the Registered LUCA Participants map on the Census Bureau's 2020 LUCA site

47. If you can’t participate in the LUCA, help us participate on your behalf
The State of Minnesota (State Demographic Center) also plans to participate in the LUCA using state administrative data sources
NG911 data being compiled now
Help us make sure that your data are included in the state-level database

48. Agenda Item 9
Sector report (Kerr) Healthography - Introduction to Mapping and GIS

Healthography: Introduction to Mapping and Geographic Information Systems
Madeleine J. Kerr, PhD, RN
Associate Professor

Acknowledgement:
Hello, I’m Madeleine Kerr and this is an introduction to mapping and GIS.

50. Healthography Definition1
“How where you live affects your health and well-being”. APHA, 2014.
Health is more than health care. Many factors contribute to health.
1 American Public Health Association theme for annual meeting, Nov , 2014, New Orleans.
Does where you live matter to your health? This billboard from the American Public Health Association conference hints at the answer. Your Zip Code shouldn’t predict how long you’ll live, but it does. Having health insurance and health care is important – but much of what affects our health occurs outside of hospitals and clinics. It’s hard to live a healthy life if you live in an unhealthy place.

51. Minnesota Health Outcomes
Health Factors
Here you see maps that provide insights about the health of Minnesotans. The County Health Rankings help us see how where we live, learn, work and play influences how healthy we are and how long we live.
On the left, the green map shows the distribution of Minnesota’s health outcomes , based on an equal weighting of length and quality of life. Lighter shades indicate better performance in the summary rankings.
On the right, the blue map displays Minnesota’s summary ranks for health factors , based on weighted scores for health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors, and the physical environment.

55. Age-Friendly Cities Mapping
To enter a data point, In the menu bar, click the edit button to reveal the legend of weaknesses and strengths
-In the legend, select the category you would like to record on the map.
-Click on the map at the location of your weakness or strength.
- In the pop-up box, you will see the category you chose at the top.
On the Sub-Type line, insert the number for the age-friendly feature that best matches what you observed. (see Code sheet)
e.g. Outdoor Spaces and buildings 2= Green spaces and outdoor seating are sufficient in number, well-maintained and safe.

56. Age-Friendly Cities Planning: Practicum in Dakota County
Questions:
How many miles of walking paths?
Are there sufficient park benches?
Walking & Paths 
-Average walk score for the city?
--Does the city have walking or biking paths? How many miles?
 Parks
 -# of parks in the city? How many acres of parkland?
 -Adequate # of benches? [go to the parks and count the benches?]

60. OMAHA SYSTEM WINDSHIELD SURVEY PROJECT
N4305: Community-based care of families across the lifespan
OMAHA SYSTEM WINDSHIELD SURVEY PROJECT

61. Background
Windshield surveys are a practical brief community assessment tool in public health nursing practice
Students in public health often perform a brief community assessment called a windshield survey during clinical experiences. As the name implies the windshield survey is a first look at a community through the car’s windshield. The student or group of students are asked to use their senses (sight, hearing, smell) to learn about a community as they drive, walk or use public transportation to get around the community.
Windshield survey data includes observational data as well as some inferences based on these first hand observations. WS data are an initial descriptive assessment of the community.

62. Windshield Survey Mapping: BSN clinical assignment
